Portents of Doom, the tenth Kormak book, has just gone live. In it, our monster-hunting hero finds himself hunting his most dangerous foe yet the sinister Shadow-worshipping sorcerer Balthazar and his shapeshifting allies. Here’s the blurb.

PORTENTS OF DOOM

Led by their lycanthropic shaman, mutated tribesmen emerge from the jungles of Terra Nova, slaying in the name of their demon god. Kormak must thread his way through the murderous wilderness as he attempts to solve a mystery that could lead to the end of the world.

The ebook is now available at the special introductory price of $2.99 or the equivalent in local currency. This will rise to $4.99 in a few days.

This week I have another cover reveal. It’s for the first Kormak omnibus and it’s the creation of the very talented Trevor Smith.

I have retitled the collection. It’s now called Flesh to Shadow, a reference to the fact that it contains the first three books of the Kormak saga, Stealer of Flesh, Defiler of Tombs and Weaver of Shadow.It also sounds a lot less dull than The First Kormak Omnibus.

You can pick up a copy at your favourite ebook retailer or you can get it for free simply by signing up for my mailing list.

Here’s the blurb:

To the world at large, he is a mercenary and assassin, a brutal killer with a deadly blade. In reality Kormak is a Guardian, one of an ancient order sworn to protect humanity from the servants of the gathering darkness.

FLESH TO SHADOW

This Kormak Omnibus contains the first three novels, the short story Guardian of the Dawn and many extras such as a map of the Kingdoms of the Sun and the author’s notes for all of the stories.

STEALER OF FLESH

The Ghul are the Stealers of Flesh, an ancient race of demons who possess the bodies of humans to work great evil. Now one of them has been freed from its ancient prison using Kormak’s own dwarf-forged sword and the Guardian must pursue it to a haunted city on the edge of the world to end its reign of terror.

DEFILER OF TOMBS

An open tomb, a dead child and an unleashed ancient horror send Kormak on a path of vengeance through the haunted northlands of Taurea. He seeks Morghael, a necromancer with a plan for resurrecting the dark empire of Kharon and the power to bring the dead swarming back to life.

WEAVER OF SHADOW

War brews along the border of the Elvenwood. The prophet of an ancient evil has corrupted the nation of Mayasha, reducing the once proud elves to feral slaves of the Shadow. Allied with the monstrous Spider Folk she is poised to sweep away the human settlements in the ancient forests and spread her Blight across the lands. Only one man stands between her and absolute victory; Kormak.

This week I am finishing up the tenth Kormak book Portents of Doom. In it, Kormak, Rhiana and company pursue the sorcerer Balthazar through the blighted jungles of Terra Nova as the quest to find the source of Vorkhul’s coffin nears its climax. Mutant tribesmen, were-jaguars, demon summoners and the Lords of Skulls himself all seek to block their path and end their lives.

Clarissa Yeo over at Yocla Designs has done her usual bang-up job on the cover.

Portents of Doom is at the final editing stage and is about to head out to my test readers and then editors. It should be available around the end of October/start of November.
